The PDP presidential spokesman Mr Charles Aniagwu has accused the opposition Delta APC of hiring local government retirees to demonstrate against the Okowa administration.
Aniagwu, who spoke to reporters yesterday in Asaba, Delta Capital, said the objective of the protest billed for November 8 is to portray the Okowa government in bad light.
Aniagwu, who doubles is Delta Information Commissioner, said sponsored protests, notwithstanding, the PDP government will not be distracted from its welfare commitment to the people.
According to him, the state government has continued to assistance to local councils to the tune of N600 million monthly to augment pensions of affected retirees who are mainly teachers, including the N10 billion grant to retirees.
He carpeted the APC in Delta State for making political capital of the misery of floods victims, adding that government would continue to assist flood victims without making noise about it like APC does.
